  This picture and the neighboring photos of Cora Chase in the Bain stream are taken in Central Park, New York City. This would have been taken at the Central Park Model Yacht Club. See www.cpmyc.org/history.html

  This sculpture looks very similar to "Tigre portant un paon
  à ses petits" by Auguste Nicolas Cain. also called "Tigresse portant un paon à ses petits." There's a copy in Newport, RI. and another in Paris, France at Les Tuileries
  
  But perhaps the most likely one is in Central Park. See www.nycgovparks.org/parks/central-park/monuments/1547
  "Cast at the F. Bardienne Foundry in Paris, Tigress and Cubs was presented in 1867 to the Board of Commissioners of Central Park by twelve New York citizens, including artist and inventor Samuel F. B. Morse (1791–1872). The piece was placed in a wooded area on a rock outcropping near the lake. In 1934, it was relocated to the Central Park Zoo, and after the 1988 renovation of the zoo, it took its current position in a protected setting between the Intelligence Garden and the Tropical Zone."

  The location near the lake is marked by 23 in this 1871 map of Central Park
  Here's a crop with the location (number 23) at left center.

• Melissa (LOC P&P) said:

  Wow! Thanks for outlining what looks like a good theory. We'll make a note in our records that the sculpture may be located in Central Park.
